Maths

In room 12 we've been learning a lot of maths.  In my group, Porohita (Circle), we've been learning to solve problems like 23+__=71 by jumping a tidy number and then jumping back a small number in a number line.

example: 46+__=92 we go 46 +10 until we get to 96 so the number of jumps we made was 50.  We have to take away 4 from 96 so that will equal 92 then take away 4 in 50 and that  equals 46 so 46+46=92 and thats what we've been learrning at maths.

Remembrance

In Room 12 we've been learning about ANZAC. Mrs.Parkinson give us a sheet the tittle was Gallipoli Slang, we had to find what the words means in the sheet and if we don't know what the word means we have to guest and here is some of the words.

Room 12 Assembly

In Room 12, 25th of May we had our assembly it was about remembrance, we had a play and I was with Arzoo,Temple,Zahle,Raniera,Corban, and Usman in Training in Egypt. We had two Sargent's and it was Arzoo and Corban and the rest of us was doing a mini course with the Sargent's telling us what to do. I think all of us did a great job because we all worked hard and tried our best. In the end we had a treat from Mrs.Parkinson and Miss Ford for doing a great job in our assembly.
